Re: [Help-glpk] Podhradsky (2010) review of optimization modeling languages

[Harley]

I dont think either Nigel's or Robbie's response or either off topic or should 
be resisted.

I think the intent of the paper tries to answer a very valid question where most of the interest to 
me is not the conclusions of the paper, but rather the stimulus for discussion on how do you 
evaluate a 'best' modelling language. One of the reasons for my interest in GLPK is the meld of 
mathematical, operations research and industrial application that this field encompasses and seeing 
and responding to all of the different perspectives leads to a much more useful end product.

Certainly the topic is not covered in the depth and breadth that would be required for a 
comprehensive comparison in an undergraduate thesis, but the question still is one worthy of 
exploration.

Harley Mackenzie
